Even though it took our law-makers quite some time to bring in such a rule, it’s always better late than never. According to the officials, waste disposal measures will be carried out soon and residents need to abide by those methods in order to dump the garbage. The plastic bags which we often see on our roadsides contain the worst of diseases, and it is high time a strict action is taken against people who throw them.

From hospital waste to waste from homes, Kochi city roads have been heaven for garbage disposal. This problem has affected us over the years. Many complaints have been lodged; media has done their bit to enlighten the people, but all in vein. Now if this law is implemented and carried out well, it definitely will benefit us, and generations to come too.

Cochin city can now sing this song, because the city now has its own
24 hour garbage buster team. Next time you see a chips packet with
some left over food or waste with a dead animal thrown in, that
qualifies you for calling the toll free hot line number.

The number to call is 1800-425-1106.

They are equipped with a control room with a vehicle functioning round
the clock. But they might not appreciate you waking them up to report
cigarette butts.!

A very nice move by the Mayor of Kochi.! But a garbage customer
service help line is not going to do the job till people learn the
basics of cleanliness.
